Enantioselective Synthesis of the Sex Pheromone of <i>Sitodiplosis mosellana</i> (Gehin) and Its Stereoisomers.

ABSTRACT: (2S,7S)-2,7-Nonanediyl dibutyrate is the sex pheromone of Sitodiplosis mosellana (Géhin). In this study, this sex pheromone and its three stereoisomers were prepared. Central to this strategy was the ring opening of chiral epoxide with an alkynyllithium and the hydrogenation of the triple bond. Moreover, this approach consisted of six steps, and the total yields were 59-64%.
